The aim of this work is using VESTA program application as appropriate alternative to quantification of micromorphological analysis. This evaluation mainly with regarded to effects for soils structure at the interactions/ predictions with many aspects of aggregate destruction-stability-reactivity in soil system. This work elucidates different kind of methodological approaches such as implementation 2D micromorphological model, X-ray analysis and their extrapolation in VESTA program. There is some evidence that construct data and parameters gained from this program are suitable for other considerations. For these points is possible to assign of reaction kinetic, established minerals phase and genetic relationships in soil system, detect of potential transformation, mobilization and immobilization activity, distribution of elements species even by general and specific properties of aggregate forms. Detailed characterization (modeled design) of rocks and minerals inorganic particles of soil aggregate forms on the atomic level has significant importance due to detailed data examinations input. In the case of operation module could eliminate of influence various undetected (non-identify) factors and in additionally refine on standardize appropriate fitted the more realistic model.

Application of various methodological approaches for assessment of soil micromorphology due to VESTA program applicable to prediction of the soil structures formation

多种方法学途径在评估土壤微形态中的应用：适用于预测土壤结构形成的VESTA计划

Article Details: Received: 2020-10-22 | Accepted: 2020-11-27 | Available online: 2021-01-31 https://doi.org/10.15414/afz.2021.24.mi-prap.131-134 A prerequisite for the successful pig breeding isthe achievement of high reproductive performance, which can be influenced by several environmental factors. Therefore, the aim of our research was to assess the impact of the season, microclimatic indicators and technology of housing of the lactating sows on the number of the weaned piglets in the litter. The experiment was performed on a production farm in Slovakia and a total of 800 litters were evaluated. The results have shown that the season had a statistically significant effect on the number of the weaned piglets ( p &lt;0.01), least in the summer and most of them in the fall. The highest number of the weaned piglets was found at the temperatures from 18 to 22 °C ( p &lt;0.05), temperatures outside the stated range had a negative impact on the number of the weaned piglets. An increase of the relative humidity - above 70% ( p &lt;0.05) and an increase in the flow - above 0,4 m.s -1 ( p &lt;0.05) led to a decrease in the number of the weaned piglets. In the housing with a freemovement of the lactating sows, the number of the weaned piglets was higher than with the restricted movement ( p &lt;0.05).
